Recovering The Administrator Password - HP Integrity Superdome 2 16-socket User Manual

Recovering the administrator password

If the administrator password has been lost, you can reset the administrator password to the factory
default that shipped on the tag with the Onboard Administrator module. The Onboard Administrator
resets a lost password to Lost Password mode. To recover the password and reset the administrator
password to the factory default:
IMPORTANT:
1. Connect a computer to the serial port of the active Onboard Administrator using a null-modem
cable.
2. With a null-modem cable (9600 N, 8, 1, VT100, locally connect to the Onboard Administrator),
open HyperTerminal (in Microsoft Windows) or a suitable terminal window (in Linux).
3. Connect to the active Onboard Administrator.
4. Press the Onboard Administrator reset button for 5 seconds.
5. Press L to boot the system in the Lost Password mode. The password appears as the system
reboots.
The password is recovered from the Monarch OA.
